DMZ 6 - Krvavé volby
NEW YORK... též známý jako Země nikoho, uprostřed druhé americké občanské války. Nezkušený fotoreportér Matty Roth je na místě a slouží jako osamělý hlas zdejších obyvatel zoufale zápasících o přežití uprostřed nejnebezpečnější válečné zóny celé planety.
Přichází Parco Delgado, „hlas lidu“, charismatický pouliční politik odhodlaný porazit vládu USA ve vůbec prvních volbách, které se v DMZ v době války odehrají. Matty Roth se rozhodl přijmout Parcův boj za svůj a vstupuje do jeho týmu, aby přidal sílu svého jména k jeho. Hranice, která odděluje novináře od jeho reportáže, se nebezpečně rozmazává – a možná mizí docela.
Scenáristovi Brianu Woodovi a výtvarníkovi Riccardovi Burchiellimu se v DMZ „podařilo redefinovat válečný komiks do podoby čehosi mnohem významnějšího a závažnějšího, než komukoliv předtím“ (BOING BOING). Ukázali nám ochromující dopad občanské války na činnost médií a korporací, přemýšlí o reakcích vojáků i civilistů. Nyní zamířili ještě výš a zabývají se rolí války v probíhajících volbách – a naopak.

The Great Gatsby
In 1922, F. Scott Fitzgerald announced his decision to write "something new--something extraordinary and beautiful and simple + intricately patterned." That extraordinary, beautiful, intricately patterned, and above all, simple novel became The Great Gatsby, arguably Fitzgerald's finest work and certainly the book for which he is best known. A portrait of the Jazz Age in all of its decadence and excess, Gatsby captured the spirit of the author's generation and earned itself a permanent place in American mythology. Self-made, self-invented millionaire Jay Gatsby embodies some of Fitzgerald's--and his country's--most abiding obsessions: money, ambition, greed, and the promise of new beginnings. "Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgiastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that's no matter--tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther.... And one fine morning--" Gatsby's rise to glory and eventual fall from grace becomes a kind of cautionary tale about the American Dream.
It's also a love story, of sorts, the narrative of Gatsby's quixotic passion for Daisy Buchanan. The pair meet five years before the novel begins, when Daisy is a legendary young Louisville beauty and Gatsby an impoverished officer. They fall in love, but while Gatsby serves overseas, Daisy marries the brutal, bullying, but extremely rich Tom Buchanan. After the war, Gatsby devotes himself blindly to the pursuit of wealth by whatever means--and to the pursuit of Daisy, which amounts to the same thing. "Her voice is full of money," Gatsby says admiringly, in one of the novel's more famous descriptions. His millions made, Gatsby buys a mansion across Long Island Sound from Daisy's patrician East Egg address, throws lavish parties, and waits for her to appear. When she does, events unfold with all the tragic inevitability of a Greek drama, with detached, cynical neighbor Nick Carraway acting as chorus throughout. Spare, elegantly plotted, and written in crystalline prose, The Great Gatsby is as perfectly satisfying as the best kind of poem.

"Now we have an American masterpiece in its final form: the original crystal has shaped itself into the true diamond. This is the novel as Fitzgerald wished it to be, and so it is what we have dreamed of, sleeping and waking." -- James Dickey

The Great Gatsby is a novel by the American author F. Scott Fitzgerald. First published on April 10, 1925, it is set on Long Island's North Shore and in New York City during the summer of 1922.
The novel takes place following the First World War. American society enjoyed prosperity during the "roaring" 1920s as the economy soared. At the same time, Prohibition, the ban on the sale and manufacture of alcohol as mandated by the Eighteenth Amendment, made millionaires out of bootleggers. After its republishing in 1945 and 1953, it quickly found a wide readership and is today widely regarded as a paragon of the Great American Novel, and a literary classic. The Great Gatsby has become a standard text in high school and university courses on American literature in countries around the world, and is ranked second in the Modern Library's lists of the 100 Best Novels of the 20th Century.

Zápisníky I
Svazek Zápisníky I obsahuje deníkové zápisy Jiřího Němce na samostatných listech z roku 1960 a První (6. 8. 1961 - 12. 5. 1962), Druhý (15. 5. 1962 2. 5. 1963) a Třetí zápisník (10. 5. 1963 28. 10. 1964). Jiří Němec psal intelektuální deník soustavně více než patnáct let, od srpna 1961 vyzván tehdy Vladimírem Holanem do roku 1978. Zaznamenával veřejné aktivity, jichž byl účastníkem, i svou četbu, nad obojím pak v zápisnících vedl vlastní reflexe.
Zápisníky jsou svědectvím o vnitřním růstu jejich autora i vnějších zápasech, na kterých se podílel a jejichž středem bylo úsilí o svobodný život v podmínkách tehdejší komunisty ovládané společnosti a o otevírání oken do Evropy.
Němcovo myšlení je zaměřené k současnému orientujícímu promýšlení a uvádění Kristovy zvěsti do osobního i společenského života. Svazek Zápisníky I naznačuje šíři i hloubku, s níž v mladých letech do svého pojetí zahrnoval podněty českého i světového umění, zejména literatury (Florian a jeho Dobré dílo, Deml, Durych, Holan, Halas, Hejda, Kafka, Miller, Greene, Camus, Saint-Exupéry, Dürrenmatt, Gertrud von Le Fort, Chesterton) a filmu (Bunuel, Fellini).
Podle jednoho postřehu Jiřího Němce v době, kdy katolická a pravoslavná teologie se staly naprosto neaktuálním spekulováním a opakováním kdysi řečeného, byla to moderní literatura, která plnila funkci teologie - časové teologie.
Přítomný svazek ukazuje nasazení Jiřího Němce, s nímž vstřebával aktuální evropské filosofické a teologické myšlení a při němž se v první polovině šedesátých let opíral především o intenzivní kontakt s Janem Patočkou a studium díla Teilharda de Chardin i jeho aktuálních teologických interpretací (Lubac, Tresmontant, Viallet, Heer, Chauchard, Kopp, Lepp, Leroy). Zároveň však ukazuje na neméně intenzivní dialog, vedený s přáteli a kolegy Ladislavem Hejdánkem, Václavem Freiem, Janem Sokolem, Petrem Pokorným, Stanislavem Sousedíkem, Milošem Černým či J. M. Lochmanem.
Pokud jde o reflexi západní teologie a filosofie, vyvažovalo prvořadé soustředění Jiřího Němce k Teilhardovu zjevu studium a četba dalších myslitelů, zejména Maurice Blondela, ale také Gabriela Marcela, Mircey Eliada, Romana Guardiniho, Martina Heideggera či Jeana Lacroixe.
Z prvního svazku Zápisníků vysvítá, z jakých myšlenkových základů se formulovalo dialogické uvažování Jiřího Němce a jak spoluutvářel podmínky pro mezikonfesijní sblížení mezi křesťany i pro pozdější diskuse s neortodoxními marxisty jejichž možnosti se nakrátko otevřely ve druhé polovině šedesátých let , aniž by při tom opustil zřetel k nutnosti ,ortodoxie, zanoření do ortodoxní víry a její praxe, sžití s Církví, neboť takto je možno se uchránit ,diletantismu a ostatně jen takto lze si představit vznik nové, přetvářející víry ,nové vzniká vždy jen na podkladě nejvyšší dosavadní komplexity, takovým ,náboženským útvarem ,nejvyšší komplexity je nesporně Církev.

An Instant Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and Indie Bestseller
"This book is for any parent who has ever struggled under the substantial weight of caregiving—which is to say, all of us. Good Inside is not only a wise and practical guide to raising resilient, emotionally healthy kids, it's also a supportive resource for overwhelmed parents who need more compassion and less stress. Dr. Becky is the smart, thoughtful, in-the-trenches parenting expert we've been waiting for!"—Eve Rodsky, New York Times bestselling author of Fair Play and Find Your Unicorn Space
Dr. Becky Kennedy, wildly popular parenting expert and creator of @drbeckyatgoodinside, shares her groundbreaking approach to raising kids and offers practical strategies for parenting in a way that feels good.
Over the past several years, Dr. Becky Kennedy—known to her followers as "Dr. Becky"—has been sparking a parenting revolution. Millions of parents, tired of following advice that either doesn't work or simply doesn't feel good, have embraced Dr. Becky's empowering and effective approach, a model that prioritizes connecting with our kids over correcting them.
Parents have long been sold a model of childrearing that simply doesn't work. From reward charts to time outs, many popular parenting approaches are based on shaping behavior, not raising humans. These techniques don't build the skills kids need for life, or account for their complex emotional needs. Add to that parents' complicated relationships with their own upbringings, and it's easy to see why so many caretakers feel lost, burned out, and worried they're failing their kids. In Good Inside, Dr. Becky shares her parenting philosophy, complete with actionable strategies, that will help parents move from uncertainty and self-blame to confidence and sturdy leadership.
Offering perspective-shifting parenting principles and troubleshooting for specific scenarios—including sibling rivalry, separation anxiety, tantrums, and more—Good Inside is a comprehensive resource for a generation of parents looking for a new way to raise their kids while still setting them up for a lifetime of self-regulation, confidence, and resilience.

Učíme děti zpívat
Děti mívají málo příležitostí ke zpívání a často ani neumějí správně používat svůj hlas. Neúspěchy je pak mnohdy od zpěvu odradí na celý život. Autorka na základě hlubokých znalostí a zkušeností s dětmi připravila cvičení a hry, které vedou i tzv. nezpěváky k čistému zpěvu. Děti se učí být citlivější a vnímavější ke svým tělesným a sluchovým prožitkům, učí se být ohleduplní ke svému hlasu. Motivace blízké jejich světu povzbuzují zaujetí dětí hrát si se svým hlasem a objevovat jeho možnosti. Hrou procvičují dovednosti potřebné ke zpěvu, jako je správné dýchání, uvolnění, koordinace a posílení potřebných svalů, probuzení hlavového rejstříku, rezonance hlasu. V komunikačních hrách zlepšují sluchovou pozornost, hudební představivost a čistotu intonace. Hrají si společně s výškou tónu, s rytmem a při tom si upevňují správné hudební představy nutné k čistému zpěvu. Pozornost je věnována i náležité výslovnosti v mluvě i při zpěvu. Vybrané písně jsou uspořádány podle dovedností procvičených v hrách a zábavných činnostech.

Unlearning Silence
Having a seat at the table doesn't mean that your voice gets heard. Knowing something is wrong doesn't make it easy to speak up. But this silencing - intentional or not - has profound consequences on our work and life. It blocks talent, skews decisions and causes teams and individuals to fail. So what if there was another way?
Drawing on her experience as a lecturer at Harvard Law School and as a Managing Partner at one of the world's leading leadership development companies, Elaine Lin Hering delves into the roots of silence, examining the patterns that keep us trapped, and showcases the impact that rewiring unconscious behaviours can have on innovation, creativity and collaboration.
From the boardroom to the classroom, from personal relationships to wider communities, Hering shows us how we can have more authentic conversations, foster inclusive spaces and amplify all voices. Because only by unlearning silence can we fully unleash talent, speak our minds, and be more complete versions of ourselves... and help other people do the same.
